Lucifer set out and oer The sky his wings extended, And million years flew past before As many moments ended. A sky of stars above his way, A sky of stars below; As lightning flash midst them astray In one continuous flow. Till round his primal chaos hurled When out of causeless night The first, up flaming dawn unfurled Its miracle of light. Still further flew he ere the start Of things of form devoid, Spurred by the yearning of his heart, Far back into the void. Yet where he reachs is not the bourn Nor yet where eye can see; Beyond where struggling time was torn Out of eternity. Around him there was naught. And still, Strange yearning there was yet, A yearning that all space did fill, As when the blind forget. O, Father God, this knot untie Of my celestial birth, And praised you will be on high And on the rolling earth. The price you ask is little count, Give fate another course, For you are of fair life the fount And of calm death the source. Take back this halo from my head, Take back my starry lower, And give to me, o God, instead Of human love one hour. Out of the chaos was I wrought, In chaos would I be dispersed, Out of the empty darkness brought, For darkness do I thirst... Hyperion, o child divine, Dont thus your state disclaim, Nor ask for miracle, nor sign That has nor sense nor name. You wish to be a man of son, To be a star you scorn; But men quick perish every one, And men each day are born. Yet stars burn on with even glow, And it is fates intending That they nor time, nor place shall know, Unfettered and unending. Out of eternal yesterday Into tomorrows grave, Even the sun will pass way That other suns shall lave; The sun that every morn does rise At last its spirit gives, For each thing lives because it dies, And dies because it lives. But you, Hyperion, never wane, Nights miracle sublime, But in the sky your place retain, The wonder of all time. So what strange fancy holds your mind What dreaming thus berates you? Return to earth and there youll find The awakening that awaits you. Eminescu, Lucifer https://youtube/watch?v=o3uxhesiKgE
